GOP front-runner Donald Trump and Democrat Bernie Sanders have been declared the winners of the first primary of the 2016 election season in New Hampshire Tuesday.
It's especially a big night tonight in the Republican race for the nomination, as several GOP candidates had been competing for the coveted second spot behind Trump, who led in New Hampshire polls by double-digit margins for months.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed the GOP's second spot Tuesday.
After results were posted, the Huffington Post ran with the headline, "A racist, sexist demagogue just won the New Hampshire primary."
CNN's Wolf Blitzer declared the victory represents a "major, major win for Donald Trump."
And CNN's Jack Tapper said Trump's win is a "remarkable thing to behold."
The New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner predicted 550,000 ballots would be cast, a turnout of about six in 10 registered voters.
A CNN exit poll Tuesday found about 75 percent of GOP voters said they were very worried about the U.S. economy, 60 percent said they were very worried about terrorism, and 90 percent said they were dissatisfied with the federal government.
And an ABC News exit poll found two-thirds of Republican voters said they favor a temporary ban on U.S. entry for Muslims who are not U.S. citizens, an idea that originated with Trump in December. Also, nearly half of GOP voters said they want a candidate from "outside the political establishment."

I was nervous as hell. There was a weird atmosphere around the this primary. But he did it. It’s now officially a movement. YUGE.
Trump/Cruz 2016.
C’MON FOLKS - DO YOUR BEST TO GET THE YOUNG VOTERS TO SEE WHAT A FRAUD THIS GUY IS! We dont need a socialist in the WH. If he or Hillary gets in, we are done for!
Northern Nuts Vote Trump
I give him credit for turning a free nationally televised victory speech into a fundraiser!
Throw in your lot with the Pirate King!
No way.
WAY!
And Trump also won!!
88% of the Republican voters picked someone other than Cruz.
Have there been any Hillary sightings tonight?
(No TV on here)
.
I am listening to Bernie while waiting for Trump....Berine is clinically insane.
This man has lost his grip (if he ever had one) on reality.
Those slime balls over there, who always accuse us of being hateful, are the ones who wrote the book on hating. What A holes.
LOL
What a delicious night of schadenfreude.
Benie is a loon that escaped from his retirement home.
Not ONE question to this guy about Karl Marx yet. Just wait until Trump destroys him in the general election debates.
The Republican establishment is in the same pickle with Trump.
I think we just might be seeing Trump vs Bernie in the general.
“88% of the Republican voters picked someone other than Cruz.”
I’m not happy with either candidate. Cruz has weird moments, such as his speech after Iowa. Trump never talks about smaller government and has these twitter un-presidential meltdowns.
Yes, that's the death knell right there. The Democrats have always needed the younger generation to win general elections. They are not going to win it with aging baby boomers.
Totally agree.
We are in the same boat then.
